GkF has provided the latest breakdown of the physical UK charts, and now that the dust has settled somewhat from the release of Mafia: The Old Country, Mario Kart World finds itself back at the number one spot.
It's not a huge surprise, of course, but it's good to see, nonetheless. Slightly further down, you'll also see that Donkey Kong Bananza is still doing pretty well at number three, jumping up one position from the previous week. And of course, just like recent weeks, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is also hanging out in the top ten, producing yet another double-whammy for Nintendo.

It'll be interesting to see how Kirby Air Riders does when it launches later this year. Be sure to keep an eye out for the upcoming Direct presentation on 19th Aug for more information!

Glad Bananza is still high on the chart, and I'm surprised Madden NFL charted at all.
yeah until kirby air riders SWOOPS in to take the place when its shadow dropped tomorrow. obviously.
Madden 26 is worth a note.
27% share for a new console is not bad at all.
I miss BLUEY.

Nintendo, can we get a road map for Mario Kart World please? And one simple game fix please, when playing the game split screen can it turn to full screen if only one person is left playing thanks?
As others have noted, seeing a 27% share on Madden (I get it... it's the UK, this may not be representative of the US) is quite the surprise.
Well, when you drop to a lower place, you get better items.
As expected but still, happy for Mario Kart World (but it's nice for Mafia that they simply switched positions)!
Also happy to see Bananza in 3rd, Hogwarts Legacy in 4th, Cyberpunk in 5th, Skywalker Saga in 7th, Lego Harry Potter in 8th, 8 Deluxe in 10th, Jamboree in 14th and selling the most on Switch, Lego Jurassic World in 15th and selling almost exclusively on Switch, New Horizons in 18th, Tekken 8 in 20th and so on!
Considering how many more PS5s have sold in the UK I’m pleasantly surprised to see 27% of Madden sales on S2. That’s a good sign me thinks (or people are just desperate to play new games on their shiny new system but whatever - still positive signs for third party support).
Edit: I see people have beat me to it with this astute observation. I should have read the comments first!
I read the 'just like that' in the title in the voice of Lou Albano's Mario at the end of Do the Mario, which I'm sure is what Ollie had in mind
Those are abysmal sales for the Switch 2 versions of Cyberpunk and Hogwarts Legacy. How is Howgwarts Legacy selling better on the OG switch? .-.
@fenlix Probably because it's cheaper to buy the Switch 1 version and the £8 upgrade fee than it is to buy the Switch 2 version (not to mention that far more people have a Switch 1).
Those Switch 2 Cyberpunk sales fell off fast. I was expecting it to be one of the more evergreen titles on Switch 2 mainly because it's not a Game-Key Card. Saying that, it's still doing better than a lot of other third-party games on the system.
instead of blank/no data in the rightmost column, the single console of release could be shown (and then 100% for consistency if you must) so that those of us who don't follow every console can at least play along. 👍
(I had to look up MAFIA, good lord what an unappealing game 😂 picture perfect example of the kind of game that caused me to go "full Nintendo" again in the middle 00s 👍)
@fenlix
"How is Howgwarts Legacy selling better on the OG switch?"
there are like 150 million more switch 1 users than switch 2. ✌️
Nice to see Mario Kart World doing well as usual, I had no doubt it would get number 1 again.
@fenlix probably cause of heavy discounts. Digitally it's 80% off, and I'm assuming the price of the physical Switch 1 game is greatly discounted to get rid of stock, since the Switch 1 version has no upgrade to get the Switch 2 version.
I'm blown away that Mario Kart is in both the first and tenth place slots.
@Erigen remember there is a significant number of sports fans who ONLY play those sports titles.
So there is essentially an entire customer base just for those games. That's why they make money despite no one online ever calling them good games.
@fenlix
First, there are millions more Switch 1 owners (or PC owners, in the case of Cyberpunk which has been on offer on Steam) than Switch 2 owners. Second, it’s cheaper to buy the Switch 1 cartridge of Hogwarts and pay £10 to upgrade to the Switch 2 version than it is to buy the Switch 2 version. In fact you can buy a copy of the Switch 2 version on multiple accounts using one cartridge.
@Metazoxan No no. THAT part I understand. What surprised me is it's the UK with an American Football game. I was fairly certain American Football had little to no presence in that country.
Mario Kart is at its most dangerous when it’s behind - its in a perfect position to throw a blue shell.
@Erigen ah I see. Still that just shows how strong the sports market is.
It doesn't have to be a popular sport. Just being a big budget sports game is enough for sports fans to jump on it.
Well deserved, hope that Mario kart world will dominate the charts over the years until the next console releases, Nintendo deserves it!
What's NL going to do if the game who shall not be named reaches #1? Just not publish the chart at all?
Good to see DK in 3rd, deserves to sell lots more!
Wow, GTA5 still hangin out here! Almost makes you wonder who has NOT played that game yet?
@Dogorilla Also the Switch 2 'upgrade' is a digital purchase with a discount activated in the game (Switch 1 version). The Switch 2 game is actually a seperate release.
Mafia: The Old Country is nothing more than a glorified crew
Mafia must have been drifting too much and pulling too many tricks.
Mario Kart World being top is hardly a shock as its bundled with the console and most are going to grab it as there little on the Switch 2 still.
Well deserved sales for MK World, I’m hooked
Ok but how is Mario Kart 8 still hovering at 9-10 in 2025?!?
@RemyMartin I think it's the Y button. Or is that not what you meant? 😏
